Australian Rugby Union urges fans to support their Rugby Championship team ‘because it’s closer’

The Australian Rugby Union is encouraging fans of the game to get off their sofas and into stadiums to support their local teams as it prepares for the second season of the National Rugby Championship.

A new TVC features up-and-coming stars of the games Jed Holloway (Greater Sydney Rams) and Andrew Kellaway (NSW Country Eagles) preparing for the tournament, with a voiceover telling fans to get out and support their teams “because it’s closer, easier and just around the corner”.
